Kodak Easyshare V570 Review

Conclusion

(out of 5 stars)

The 5 megapixel Kodak Easyshare V570 is a very stylish and
very unique camera, thanks to its innovative dual lens system
which offers an ultra wide 23mm and a 39-117mm zoom lens,
all in a metal body just 2cms thick. There's obvious distortion
at the 23mm end of the zoom range and the step-up from 23
to 39mm takes a little getting used to, but that's a small
price to pay for the flexibility that's on offer. Using such
a small camera with such a wide zoom range opens up lots of
photographic opportunities that you just won't get with similar
sized models. The Kodak Easyshare V570 isn't the fastest camera
available, with the zooming mechanism and continuous shooting
being particularly slow, although focusing in both good and
low light situations is fast and accurate. The 5 megapixel
sensor is modest in this day and age, but more than adequate
for prints up to A4 in size. Image quality is only average,
with noticeable noise and blurring at ISOs 200 and 400, which
means that the V570 is best suited to situations with adequate
lighting, especially if you want to make larger prints. The
Kodak Easyshare V570 is just a simple point and shoot camera
in terms of creativity, with no control over aperture or shutter
speeds, but Kodak have gone to great lengths to make the V570
easy to use, with a wealth of playback and sharing options
available. Overall, despite only average image quality and
some elements of slow operation, the Kodak Easyshare V570
is an intriguing and fun to use digital camera.
